Chicken Salad Sandwich with Curry and Raisins
3 tablespoons golden raisins
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
½ onion, diced
1 carrot, shredded
½ teaspoon curry powder
½ cup olive oil mayonnaise
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 large lettuce leaves (romaine, iceberg or anything else)
8 slices bread or English muffin halves, toasted
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Cover the raisins with hot water and soak for at least 10 minutes (the warm water will help the raisins plump up); drain and place in a large bowl. Add the chicken, celery, onion, carrot curry powder, and mayonnaise. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
Place the lettuce leaves on top of four bread slices, then top with tomatoes, chicken salad and the remaining bread.
Serves four.
